Tell me if you would volunteer for this study.
In 2013 bunch of fliers started showing up around the University of Pittsburgh that said, do you want to take part in a cold sleep study?
Sounds miserable.
They'd have you swallow this pill with a tiny computer inside.
Take a dose of a special sedative, and then lay down on a bunch of cooling pads under this clear hood to start the weirdest nap of your life.
That's a no from me.
Why would they want to do this?
Like why would it be useful to anyone for me to be cold while I'm sleeping?
Well, this is all part of an effort to get humans to hibernate.
Some scientists think that there's this ancient circuit inside us that could trigger hibernation.
